Living in the country is wonderful. I would never want to live in a city, but being surrounded by all kinds of wild critters does have its challenges. For instance: the critters that have taken up residence in our attic or, for one species, maybe even on our roof.
The woodpeckers started the whole debacle. They drilled some holes in the attic space above the ceiling and the cabin, which we patched and re-patched, then drilled out the expanding foam, and kept working.

I have lost some chickens to predators recently and so the chickens have been relegated to the coop runs. I still have the younger hens separated from the older girls and roos waiting for the move to the remodeled “old” coop. I also need to get some fencing done to keep them out of the garden before I let them free range. I better get it done soon, though, because the hoppers are getting thick.
